Browservice on X1000 and Sam460LE with Odyssey 1.23

I would have gladly bought a license of IBrowse if it had Browservice support

@Joerg

The only version from you working is Odyssey 2.20 (Blastoise).

Unfortunately, this version has no tabs, scroll wheel within Browservice doesn't work and the Enter key does nothing.

And network accesses are too slow to cope with the data transfer.

I'll have a look at Remote Desktop but can we only use a browser ou this the whole remote desktop that is displayed?

I guess the MorphOS Trance m68k JIT is much better than the WinUAE one as well.
But in any case PPC native code, like the one in my and Andrea's AmigaOS 4.x/PPC ports of OWB, is faster than any m68k emulation on PPC Amigas.
Odyssey is something completöy different, not a direct AmigaOS 4.x port of OWB itself at all, but at best an AROS or MorphOS port of it, with tons of limits: At best the common AmigaOS 3.1 API compatibility, but none of the AmigaOS 4.x parts I implemented, nor my system independent improvements and bug fixes, used.

@joerg
Thanks for the explanation,
and thanks for your work on AmigaOS in the past.

It seems like just yesterday I bought my first 3GB hard drive for AmigaOS 68k.

I remember calling Enrico Altavilla (lowlevel.library).

Because the Workbench wasn't recognizing the hard drive
Then in the end, thanks to him, I solved the problem.

For other host systems (Linux, MacOS, etc.) you can use VNC instead, severs are available for all OSes (even AmigaOS) and several clients for AmigaOS.

@joerg

That's what i hought and I already use VNC Client (TwinVNC OS4) to access my server under MacOS Sierra when needed.

I tried to surf like that but it still feels I'm using another computer.

Of course it does, because you are.

As I wrote in the Amibrowser thread. This is my solution for now, until something OS4 native comes along.

Up until recently I was running RemoteDesktop on my X1000 to connect to a very old laptop, running Windows 10, to do things I couldn't do under AmgiaOS4. It worked pretty well with a couple of things to avoid. (like it would freeze if I tried to copy the URL from the URL field of the Windows browser.)

Recently I purchased this TRIGKEY Mini PC Ryzen 5 5500U for $230, which runs Windows 11 Pro, but I couldn't get RemoteDesktop to work with it.

So...I switched to runiing TightVNC server on the Windows side and TwinVNC client on the X1000 side. I have to say it runs better than RemoteDesktop. No more little things to avoid. It runs smooth and fast enough to watch YouTube videos in Brave or Edge browser. I'm very satisified with this setup but it would still be great to have a better AmigaOS4 browser!

I'm now using a little script created by Walkero (thank you!) to get rid of the constant refreshing :

You have to midify the script to point to your Browservice IP.

I also had to modify this line like below to avoid blurry lines :

Thanks, I was just reinstalling the Radeon R9 280 GPU.
I'll try again to see if I can fix the audio issue without using the "sudo" command.
I was looking at ChatGPT suggested solutions

I'll try this:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", KERNEL=="0000:06:00.0", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0000:06:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/unbind 2>/dev/null || true'" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", KERNEL=="0000:06:00.1", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0000:06:00.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/unbind 2>/dev/null || true'"

But I don't think ChatGPT really understood what I meant.

This doesn't seem to work:
sudo usermod -aG audio $USER

If only there was something normal in AmigaOS if audio was supported in the AmigaOS-side HDMI driver, I'd already solved it.

Obviously I tried Walkero program (Kyvos) but things don't change as soon as I use SUDO to switch the GPU vfio the audio is no longer heard.

Michael Battilana also gave me an AmigaForever license some time ago, but I didn't split it or give it to anyone.

My goal is just to test the driver, nothing else.

And there's no sign of Virtio-GPU. I sent a message to @AmigaKit, but it didn't even read it.
Why won't it let me try the driver ?
I've been emulating AmigaOS 4.1 for years and I've tested it in every way possible

Also releasing a driver RadeonHD that supports audio through HDMI would be a good solution.


Thanks for the Browservice script.
